India has the full support of the United States, President Donald Trump said on April 21 after suspected militants opened fire on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir territory, killing at least 20 people.
"Deeply disturbing news out of Kashmir. The United States stands strong with India against Terrorism. We pray for the souls of those lost, and for the recovery of the injured. Prime Minister Modi and the incredible people of India have our full support and deepest sympathies," Trump said on Truth Social.
